The strangest thing. I just ported my number from att to sprint two weeks ago, and I haven't received any texts, calls or voicemails in the last few days and have been so busy with work I didn't think anything of it. However today I randomly received 15 texts and 5 voicemails. A lot of them were angrily asking me why I was ignoring their calls and texts. I was on the phone with sprint technical support and they reset my settings with the network and I started to receive all kinds of random texts from the last two days in random order. The technician said he never saw anything like that before. It's just so strange. My emails never stopped coming in, only the things that are sent directly from my phone from the sprint network. elguapo76 pointed out that I should have my phone on hybrid instead of just evdo, which I did. And diesel556 said
"I believe that text messages queue on the server if the device is unreachable. The same thing would happen if you went out of range on the Verizon network.
Unless you have a legitimate bug with the service."
Any ideas about what I should do to fix this? Or can anyone get more into depth with what this is? If there is a way to permanently fix this I would love to know. Thanks in advance!
Did you recently apply the update patch? It could have fixed an issue with the system throwing up a flag when your ROM gets low on storage. This was usually perpetuated by a ROM leak that many of us have experienced. Basically what happens is that if you have used bluetooth and it gets stuck connecting (hard to tell at times) it will create a 6mb-15mb core dump. Over time this will fill up your ROM storage memory. After your ROM gets filled to a certain point (whether by the bluetooth ROM leak or user function) it will throw up the flag to the server telling it to halt all sms and voicemails. Before the patch you could hard reset and recover your ROM storage memory but the flag would not come down. I know for myself it took me a couple of days to figure out I was not receiving sms/voicemails after I got some upset people emailing me why I had not got back to them. With the recent MR these bugs have been resolved and the flag could have been taken down thus freeing all your sms and voicemails from the pits of sms and voicemail hell. That's just a possible theory.
Would you say there were a plethora of bugs?
Interesting. Two days ago, I used my moto bluetooth headset for the first time. Curiouser and curiouser. However, I did use the update the day that it came out. I restored with nandroid and upgraded that same night, so I shouldn't have had that problem. Actually, when I tried to connect before the update, I couldn't even connect that headset to my phone.

A plethora! Jefe what is a plethora?
Yes I would say the Hero had a plethora of bugs!!! Thankfully HTC/Sprint gave us a sweater of an update!It's a sweater!!!
Now just fix the Android Market problem!
Hey everyone! Yesterday, for the first time since I rooted and upgraded my ROM, I did not receive txts from anyone even though I sent our several texts - even spoke to my friends today who said that they responded. And it wasn't Sprint's fault, cos even after rebooting my phone, they wouldn't come through. But texts sent after rebooting would come through successfully.
Any idea why? I went through a whole day thinking my friends were ignoring me. Not a great feeling on Thanksgiving's eve
FYI - I've just set up Google Calendar to send me an SMS alert every hour just to make sure that I'm receiving txts from now on. It's not the easiest workaround, but at least if I'm down, I'll know it's just for an hour. Any thoughts?
I'm gonna say it's not the ROM and blame it on Thanksgiving.
If HTCIQ force closes on your phone for any reason then every thing will functional properly including sending texts, but you won't receive any. And a reboot won't cause them to come through. I'm not saying that's what happened (did you have any FC's?) but it's possible.
But just like vox said, there's no reason to think it's the rom. There have been 325 downloads of 0.6 so if there was an issue, it would be a known one. Kind of one of those "if you are the only one experiencing the problem...." type of things.
FYI, so far I've received my Google Calendar hourly alerts for 12, 1, 3 & 4 pm (it's now 4.27pm PST) but the 2pm one did not come through I remember yesterday that I had a force close message for the Voice Recorder app. Could it be possible it's one of the apps running in the background?
What's HTCIQ? And how do I prevent it from FC'ing?
Do you have any themes or optimizations or anything other than fresh 0.6? Are you using clear as a bell?
How did you put voice recorder back on?
Nothing of the sort, just been installing apps. Haven't optimized or changed themes at all. So far today, every hourly txt from my Google Calendar came in except for the 2pm one. I'm going to have it send me hourly texts from now on just to make sure I won't go by more than an hour without receiving one. I know it's a random and sporadic issue and there's probably no fix, but I just wanted to put it out there in case it happens to someone else.
Are you using any sort of task killer?

Good question.
I have TasKiller installed but I stopped using it over the last few days. I'm still experiencing receiving issues. My Google calendar alerts have decided to skip every other hour now Especially in the middle of the night. Fri night, the last alert came in at 9pm and the next one came in at 1am. This sucks
I experienced this problem for the first time last night. Texts were sent and nothing showed on the phone. Once I rebooted texts came through but only new ones. Any texts sent while the phone was apparently having issues ended up in /dev/null. Since I've read about this happening previously on other, non-rooted and non-flashed, Heros I test occasionally just to make sure things are working as expected and always right before I go to sleep.
The force close theory makes a lot of sense to me. The Mail app did a force close 2-3 times yesterday. if HTCIQ did a force close I was not notified.
MoDaCo 1.1 -> fresh 0.6 + optimized apk
Anyone else experiencing their text threads being out of order? For instance, i can send a text that shows that it was sent at the right time, however if someone texts me, the time is a couple of minutes off. Thus, throwing the chronological order off.
If im reading and thinking of ur problem rite it may be the same as mine was. When i first send text sometimes it would fail and wouldnt resend till i reopen text. So it would have wrong time at least i thought it did.

No, my texts don't fail. When I send them, they show the same time as my clock. However, if someone sends me a text, it shows they sent it about a minute or two ahead of my actual time.
I'll try to give an example: 6:45PM- actual times that these text are sent.
Me (6:45PM)- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Me (6:45PM)- ccccccccccccccccccc
Someone Else (6:46PM)- bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
See, how it places the incoming texts at 6:46, even though it is really 6:45 still, throws the order off on my reply. It makes it seems like both of my texts were sent before I even received a response.
Very frustrating......
Are you having this problem in the stock messaging app? I noticed it every once in a while, but haven't had the problem yet with Handcent.
If you're using the stock app, try downloading Handcent or ChompSMS or something, and see if it goes away
i have this same issue, its made me switch to handcent because the problem hasnt occured using that. Plus it lets me have vibrate functionality ONLY in the vibrate setting and retain only audio notification in a sound profile

Yeah, I'm using the stock messaging app. I'll try Handcent, apparently a lot of people like it. I'll update ASAP
i'm still using my fuze and i have the same problem. i wonder if it has something to do with the time on att , the other persons phone and/or other carriers servers
Handcent all the way! It corrects the out-of-order issue and is way more customizable, including assigning ringtones for each contact. Just remember to turn off the notifications on the stock messaging app, otherwise you'll receive double notifications on each message received.
Im having the same problem on my Captivate...But my N1 gets it right. Im getting replys before I even send a text...according to the time stamps.
Sorry to report that, although ive only experienced it once, i have seen the same problem with Handcent SMS
All these little issues on this thing are starting to pile up :/

No cuz my iPhone worked just fine...
This problem happens to me if I reply back really quickly... It'll put my text above the one I replied to.

Beauty is there's ways around it (other apps) and we don't have to rely on anyone to fix it.
My wife and I both have Captivates. Her phone has the text messages out of order, while mine does not. Something we noticed is that when we do an auto sync of the date/time, her phone is consistently 4 minutes behind mine. For example, my time will be 6:06, and her phone says 6:02. I believe this is what is causing the text app to "re-arrange" the messages. The text app just looks at the time stamp of the message, and not the actual order of the send/receive process.
I am not sure how to correct this other than manually setting her phone forward by 4 minutes.

This is exactly the problem.
If I get a text at 9:01... And I reply at 9:01... It puts mine as having been sent before the one I received.
just use handcent people.
Yeah, but like I said, Ive reproduced the problem once, even with Handcent. On a side note, does anyone know how or where to get more skins for Handcent?

That does not solve the root problem... Some phones are getting the wrong time from the network when set to auto-config.

tikicult, somone else reported that their phone was off by 4 minutes. Solved it by getting a new SIM Card.

I've been having this problem as well.
I went to the AT&T store today to try and get a new SIM, as per one of the suggestions in this thread. Problem still occurred. Tried it on a fresh straight out of the box Captivate. Problem still occurred. Sales guy threw his SIM from his iPhone in a demo Captivate. Problem still occurred on both Captivates.
Later I tried adjusting the time manually up by a minute or 2. Problem still occurred after a text with a response approx. 20-30 seconds later. Still showed the text coming in at 1:23, and my response which was 30 seconds later as being sent at 1:22.
Seems like a Samsung software issue.
Whether I'm running Handcent, chomp, or the standard app, at some point (it seems while refreshing/fetching SMS) my messages disappear, nowhere to be found. This has happened twice this month. I have "auto delete old messages" disabled and CM 6 installed. What is causing this?? I have people's numbers in here that I need and it takes 20 minutes to restore messages (those messages aren't even remotely new). Maybe it's a CM issue but I feel like this has happened before on stock 2.2 but I don't quite remember. Regardless I'd like to know what's causing this and XDA is my best bet. I've seen postings all over in Google results about this issue. I'm running a Nexus one with a newly flashed radio on FRF91 build.
If it's Google's code issue then I'd like to see Cyanogen or the CM team patch this; that would be awesome.
i've had this happen to me too! I could remember this happening to me even on 2.1 on my droid. it annoyed me quite a bit. i've never come across the answer or anyone else who has had the same problem. so you'd be my first.
I hope someone else has the answer
no such problem with mine!
ok so i got a boost mobile moto g, great phone and all but.. i unlocked the boot loader, wiped the stock rom and installed cm11 and it went well for the first 2 days or so. i will now get "ghost" texts. it says my sister is trying to send me a multi-media text but she has never sent one. then it started saying "no APN specified on device" whenever it did this. then fixing my permissions with rom manager started deleting dolphin browser everytime i fixed em. also whenever i reboot my phone i must make a phone call before it will allow me to send a text or else the text just wont send. last but not least, yesterday i started getting texts from people that didnt send me a text or sms saying that i sent a text that the person i was texting had actually sent. anyone have the same problems? any luck on solving them?
